Recently I wrote asking for help with foods that are quick/simple to prepare.
 I am STILL doing summaries, I had so many responses.

However, I've found two foods that work for me.  One is VERY simple but not
necessarily quick.  The other is quick and simple.

My friend is a Spanish teacher and has a mother with CD.  She suggested I go
to a Spanish grocery store and buy something called P.A.N.  The package says
its "pre-cooked white corn meal."  On the package is a recipe for  "corn
cakes".  Elizabeth says that this is a staple in Spain.  I just make small
cakes, fry them as directed then bake them.  All you have to do is add water
to the corn meal.  I make a batch, freeze them individually then take them to
school for my "bread".  I haven't tried making them a bit thicker then
splitting them apart and using them as a "bun", but Elizabeth assures me that
it's great.  I like them plain, with a little salt.  The ingredients are:
precooked white cornmeal, iron, Niacine, Thiamin, Riboflavin and folic acid.
Please note: I have NEVER called the company for its gf status.  There is a
telphone number (not toll free) and an email address on the pkg.  Rightly or
wrongly, I'm not terribly concerned about cross-contamination (I'm still
eating the taco chips at Taco Bell!!!)

The second item I use quite a lot is Skyline Chili which I can purchase in
the frozen food section of two major grocery store chains.  This chili is
from Cincinnati (my hometown) and I grew up eating it.  It is GF - I called
the company and checked.  I just heat up the chili, throw it over gf
spaghetti and I think it makes a great, filling, QUICK meal.  I like grated
cheddar cheese on top of mine.  Try it.....I think you'll like it.

Finally, for those of you who've read my posts in the past, you've heard me
extol all the "virtues" of Krogers.  Well, I'm at it again.  Krogers is now
carrying most of the Amy's gf frozen meals along with four or five mixes from
the GF Pantry.  I went to buy the brownie mix the other day and they were all
sold out.  Plus their carrying several gf rices from Bob's Red Mill.  On top
of the fact that they have an 800 number on all of their store brands, their
now offering gf items.  I'll never move away from a Kroger.  BTW, I have no
financial interest in the company except for the fact that my son works as a
bagger!!!

Stay healthy,
